Transfer a domain in 4 simple steps

Step 01

The domain you want to transfer

Your domain must be active and in good standing with your current registrar. Expired or suspended domains cannot be transferred, so make sure your registration is up to date. Checking this first prevents delays and makes the transfer faster.

Once you register a domain with Bergehost it is active straight away, usually for 1 year. If you don't renew before it expires, it enters a grace period (typically 40 days): your website and email may stop working, but you can still renew, sometimes with a late fee. After the grace period the domain enters redemption (about 30 days): it has been removed from the registry but can still be recovered for a redemption fee (often from about USD 75, it varies) plus the renewal fee. If it is not recovered, it moves to Pending Delete (about 5 days) and can no longer be renewed. After that it is deleted and anyone can register it, including competitors and domain resellers.
